NAME
       lmreread - tells the license server to reread the license file

SYNOPSIS
       lmreread [ -c licensefile ]

DESCRIPTION
       lmreread allows the system administrator to tell the license server
       (daemon) to reread the license file.  This can be useful if the data
       in the license file has changed; the new data can be loaded into the
       license server without shutting down and restarting it.

       lmreread uses the license file from the command line (or the default
       file, if none specified) only to find the license server to send it
       the command to reread the license file.  The license server will
       always reread the original file that it loaded.  If you need to
       change the path to the license file read by the license server, then
       you must shut down the server and restart it with that new license
       file path.

       You can not use lmreread if the SERVER node names or port numbers
       have been changed in the license file.  In this case, you must shut
       down the server and restart it in order for those changes to take
       effect.

       lmreread does not change any option information specified in an
       options file.  If the new license file specifies a different options
       file, that information is ignored.  If you need to reread the options
       file, you must shut down the server and restart it.

OPTIONS
       -c licensefile
                 Use the specified license_file.  If this switch is not
                 specified, lmreread looks for the environment variable
                 LM_LICENSE_FILE.  If that environment variable is not set,
                 lmreread looks for the file
                 /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.  If no -c option is
                 specified, lmreread looks for the environment variable
                 LM_LICENSE_FILE in order to find the license file to use.
                 If that environment variable is not set, lmreread looks for
                 the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
